    Locally owned and operated since 1938. Art supplies, frames, stationary, paper, kid's stuff, gifts, fine pens, albums, and journals.

    Use your student discount, don't forget to bring your ID. I'm not really impressed by their selection of paint brushes, but I appreciate their paper and notebook selection.

    Ask for help if you need it. If you tell them your vision, they'll offer advice and creativity.

    Canvas are always 50% off! Canvas pads n acrylic pads available. A crafter's dream. No longer caries plexiglass.

    I really don't like their policy of holding bags. It is rude. LP is the responsibility of the business, not the consumer. They can be hit or miss on prices - but good variety of markers and paper.
